There will be no Windows 12 presentations in the coming days. As Computex and Build 2026 kick off next week, the audience is hoping for a lot of PC-related releases, including the next generation of the operating system. However, Microsoft decided to clarify the situation and help consumers adjust their expectations.
Pawan Davuluri, the head of Windows and Devices at Microsoft, has released a cryptic teaser for the events that will unfold next week at Build 2026. Pawan made it clear that the developer is not planning to demonstrate a new platform or a preview of Windows 12. Instead, users are advised to expect a lot of news for developers and even fresh hardware.
Speaking of hardware, the official Windows account also posted a teaser with a statement about the approach of a “new era of PCs”, where the coordinates lead to the Taipei Music Center in Taiwan.
Earlier this month, Microsoft unveiled new Surface computers for business, powered by Intel Core Ultra 300 Series processors. At the same time, the manufacturer confirmed that Surface devices aimed at ordinary consumers will appear later this year. The current Surface lineup, based on Snapdragon X1 chips, has been released for two years, so it’s a good time for Microsoft to showcase the updated gadgets. Currently, third-party hardware manufacturers are already launching their own solutions with Snapdragon X2 processors, and NVIDIA is additionally preparing to enter the CPU market with its N1 series, so next week we can expect a lot of high-profile announcements from NVIDIA and Microsoft.
Something new is coming for developers. And no, it’s not a new OS version 😅. See you at Build next week! pic.twitter.com/gfY90ZyjZl

As for Windows 12, Microsoft is now focused on fixing Windows 11 and addressing its shortcomings by introducing a movable taskbar, low latency mode, advanced Start menu customization, transformations to the Windows Update system, and more. As Windows 11 is about to celebrate its fifth anniversary, a Windows 12 release would seem to make perfect sense, but it’s now clear that Microsoft is looking to improve Windows 11 instead of releasing a completely new version.
